How did you spend your time with your kids last
school holiday? For me, it was a fruitful school holiday where we spent some
quality together. And I’ve also let my elder girl tried something new – the Seven
Seas Fruit Gummies which I found out on the
supermarket’s shelf recently. She just loves all these yummy and healthy Fruit
Gummies.
Seven Seas is one of most trusted healthcare brands in the U.K. It
has the perfect solution with their range of Kids Fruit Gummies.
Available in
packs of 30 delicious tasting gummies, Seven Seas Fruit Gummies come in three
flavors, each enriched with different vitamins and minerals essential for the
children’s formative years. Strawberry Fruit Gummies contains Vitamins A, B6
and C, Blackcurrant has Vitamin C and zinc, and the Orange variant comes with
calcium and Vitamin D.
All these
vitamins and minerals are not only essential for good health but for children’s
physical growth as well as their mental development. Vitamin A is fat-soluble and we all know that
it is vital for healthy eyes but what is not so commonly known is that it
protects us from allergies. As a
powerful antioxidant, Vitamin A protects us from free radicals which damage our
cells, tissues and organs. These damages can result in serious health problems
when the children grow older. As an immune booster, Vitamin A keeps us free
from infections such as influenza and colds as well as from viral diseases such
as measles.
Vitamin B6 is
another essential vitamin to keep our children's immune and nervous systems in
peak condition. It is also needed to make hemoglobin which ensures that all
tissues and organs get enough oxygen to stay healthy and to function properly.
Vitamin B6 is especially important during the growing years as it is involved
in the development of the brain.
Zinc is just as
important for normal growth and development during childhood as this mineral
not only supports healthy cell growth but keeps the digestive system strong and
improves digestion. Children are prone to cuts and lacerations and these will
heal faster with zinc which helps in wound healing and blood clotting. Zinc
will also give your children healthy skin and is naturally found in muscles,
eyes, liver, teeth, bones, nails and hair. Like Vitamins A, B6 and C, zinc
promotes immune function to stave off illnesses and is, interestingly, required
for proper sense of taste and smell!
Children, at
their critical stage of growth, need lots of calcium when their bones are
forming and to keep them strong through adulthood. Children who do not get
enough calcium are more prone to bone fractures and weaker teeth as they
grow. Intake of calcium alone is not
enough. You must make sure that your children get sufficient Vitamin D to help
in its absorption for proper bone growth and skeletal development. It is true
that we get Vitamin D from sunlight but studies have shown that most children
are just not getting enough of this essential vitamin and its deficiency can
lead to bone-softening or rickets, a disease that is still reported in the
U.S. Here’s another interesting note;
Vitamin D pumps up serotonin, a natural mood-elevating, feel-good chemical.
Seven Seas gummies
are free from preservatives, artificial colourings and flavourings.
Seven Seas Fruitylicious Kids Day campaign was
launched in April 2014. They are now running a nationwide 'Colour & Win'
